The updated laptops include the content creator Creator Z series and stylish Prestige series alongside the new gaming offerings. While the company also introduced the new Cyborg 15 gaming laptop.
MSI Creator Z Series – Dominate Creation Power
The CNC-crafted chassis is not just only the spotlight in content creation, now, the performance of the MSI Creator Z series is now on another level as well.
The latest Creator Z17 HX Studio and Creator Z16 HX Studio now comes with the top 13th-generation Intel Core HX series processors and are certified by NVIDIA Studio. Additionally, the Vapor Chamber Cooler thermal design makes the Creator Z series the most powerful creator laptops on the market.
You can also use the new Creator Z series laptops with the brand-new MSI Pen 2. It uses the MPP2.6 Technology with 4096 pressure level and haptic feedback, making it feels like writing on actual paper. Moreover, you can use the MSI Pen 2 on traditional pencil on paper without switching pens.
